Remember him being pretty good and thinking we should sign this lad. Was even compared to Gerrard at one point in time

[RichC]

yeah, I remember him being "the next big thing". What a waste of a career, hopefully he'll come to his senses and buckle down and do something with what is left of it but I can't see it happening

[colin85]

Brennan should take him under his wing and transform him into the player he should be

I think it's easy to be critical, but if I was in that position at that age, I'm pretty sure I would have ended up the same.

Err why did they give him a 5 year contract in 2009 when the problems were obvious to them well before that?

Because Mark Hughes is a moron.

[RichC]

I wouldn't go near this lad these days

[ChesterDave]

He won't be boozing and snacking all day if he ends upo in prison for his drink driving

Any idea what the terms of that contract were?

[Fredo]

He had his moment though.

This post was from 2009 and that's when he got the contract.

No idea but doesn't sound like it was anything other than a normal contract. Rather than making him work harder they rewarded him for having issues by giving him a comfy 5 year contract so he could get rich and more ****ed up

No wonder he didn't recover, they made him a millionaire so he didn't need to bother his arse anymore

[Shaggy]

I saw him at about 2pm this afternoon, sitting outside a bar/restaurant near where I live. He was drinking obviously.

Should have introduced yourself and joined in
